    A powerful script that is just so incredibly beautiful and moving in the telling of this family of women's story. Well done!

    Easily one of the most beautiful, powerful, and impactful pieces I've had the pleasure of seeing live. Juliette's work as both a writer and director has moved and inspired me in ways that I will be forever grateful for. Plumas Negras has a way of reaching into your very heart and soul, taking a firm grip, and squeezing the trigger for an outburst of emotions. My face was wet for the majority of my viewing and I left the theater with the instant need to reach out to my mother and thank her for all the sacrifices she's made.

    Thought provoking and vital - this play blends some abstract elements with very real, historic details. Would love to see it produced in Spanish and English. So powerful!
